Just recently, I have my car (fortuner 2015) checked sa casa and the mechanic recommended to replace the turbo.
The price that they quote to me was Php 126K, for me that is a big amount and for now I cannot afford it,

My car is still running, but I want to fix it the soonest as I believe the problem is serious.

need some suggestions on what to do as I'm willing to have it fix if I can have it done with a lower amount.

What are the negative effect if I will just let the problem and continue using the car?

Please help me, I'm just a newbie with it comes to this problem, just driving one year pa.

Get 2nd or 3rd opinion. What symptoms are you getting?

Casa dont diagnose. They replace whatever the heck they feel like charging unsuspecting customers for a quick buck

are there symptoms?
what does the howner's manual say about it, po?
is it possible, they recommend replacement, because it came with the vehicle from the factory 4 years ago and nothing else?

According to them there is a major leak in the turbo, sound is not normal anymore.
Sorry, I don't recall all they said, I don't actually talk to the mechanic, they just forward their findings to their staff and the staff provide me the findings.

I just want to know if ever the findings is true, is it really that expensive, 120K+?

heh heh.

the symptoms I know is that the engine sound is not normal but the car is still performing well.
Do they recommend for replacement although it's still possible to have it repaired at a minimal cost?

What will I do next, will I go to other mechanic to check it again?

Where is the leak coming from? Air leak or oil leak? Possible hose problem or fittings..

Btw there are brand new turbo for sale available for around 50k. You need to check if the turbo still achieves its required boost!

it is hard for me to recommend anything, because the information you volunteer, is, pardon my english, "extremely minimal".
perhaps if we can get more information...
or you can bring it to another mekaniko, and see what this second person says.

Question lang. I have to refill the pink coolant of our 2015 Fortuner as it is nearer to the E mark rather than the full. Aside from using genuine Toyota ano bang compatible na off the shelf (ace, handyman, truvalue) coolant na pwedeng gamitin? Thanks

Why try using other brands? Mura lang naman ang genuine toyota coolant and available in most auto supply store..
